Puzo may not have been such a fabulous writer, but he was a brilliant storyteller.
Bingo SB!
That's Puzo in a nutshell. He had a flair for storytelling and a beautiful imagination.
As I said eariler, THE SICILIAN is his most thoughtful book. Your love for it is justified.
Giuliano was loved and the whole "Robin Hood" analogy with him is justified, whereas with
Mafiosi, it is not. The good people of Sicily adore Giuliano, they despise the
Mafiosi. That says it all.
